Chapter 53 - Chapter 53

This is the general term for "Jewel Magecraft", a technique that uses gemstones.

Gems are easy to accumulate in the mind of the bearer, and easy to store magical energy in.

In particular, it is easy to form natural spirits in ore that has been sleeping in the ground for a long time, and a gem with attributes itself is a simple Magic Crest.

The gem of the natural spirit that houses fire is easy to ignite as long as it is infused with magical energy, and the same goes for wind.

Almost equal to an instantaneous release, it is very effective for sudden battles.

This is one of the ways that Tokiomi will face Emiya Kiritsugu alone, who can be called the "Magus Killer".

Of course, the staff he was holding in his left hand at the moment was Tokiomi's greatest reliance.

An oversized jewel set in the handle seals the magical energy that Tohsaka Tokiomi has spent his whole life refining; this is the Mystic Code of Tohsaka Tokiomi as a magus.

With such thorough preparation, Tokiomi didn't feel that he would lose today no matter what.

Thinking so, Tokiomi took a step towards the stairs.

Bang————!

His feet exploded!

It was a bomb planted by Emiya Kiritsugu in advance, and now it happened to be stepped on by Tokiomi.

"Are you dead...?"

Hiding in the corner of the second floor and aiming at Tokiomi's position with a sniper rifle, Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the smoke and dust that filled the air, and muttered.

Suddenly, the pupils of Emiya Kiritsugu, who was observing, shrank, as if he had seen some incredible picture.

At the place where the bomb exploded, out of the billowing smoke, a man in a red suit came out, holding a staff in his left hand and several gems in his right hand.

Tokiomi raised his chin slightly, looked in a direction on the second floor, and smiled confidently.

"Found you!"

...

Following Tohsaka Tokiomi, a man in a blue hoodie came to the main entrance of the Einzbern castle.

The hooded man's expression was contorted, as if he was in excruciating pain.

"What's going on with that old guy...!"

Although the worms that Zouken gave him ate away at his body, they were not so ferocious that they hindered his movements.

Zouken also wants the Holy Grail, so he won't give Kariya too many restrictions.

But today, the worms in the body seem to have gone crazy and want to escape from Kariya's body.

Originally, this should have been a good thing for the tormented Kariya.

But the irony is that after the baptism of insects day and night, Kariya's body has been riddled with holes, and without these worms, he will not only lose his ability to move, but will not even live for a day.

"Did that old guy get killed?"

When this guess was born in his heart, Kariya felt joy at first, and then a sense of despair welled up.

If Zouken dies, then the source of these worms in his body will be cut off, and in this way, these worms will quickly leave his body. Even if he suppresses it with magecraft for a short time, it will not last long.

As death approaches, people always begin to think about the meaning of their lives.

If everything you have paid so far is just wishful thinking and all in vain, then who should you vent all this pain to?

Almost at the moment when this question was born in his heart, Kariya raised his head, and a red glow flashed in his eyes.

"Tohsaka Tokiomi!!"

Without hesitation, he stormed the Einzbern castle.

...

Shirou, who didn't know that there was already a big brawl in the Einzbern castle at this moment, also came to the main gate of the castle after Kariya.

"Master, do you need me to check in first?"

Hearing this, Shirou shook his head.

"This is a battle between magi. You better go to the back of the castle and have a look. If you meet Kotomine Kirei..."

Shirou thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Kill him."

"Yes."

Diarmuid nodded, not hesitating at Shirou's order.

The next moment, Diarmuid turned into a green shadow and disappeared into the deep woods.

In an instant, Shirou's position became extremely quiet.

The reason why Shirou asked Diarmuid to do this was to cut off Archer's desire to replace the Master, so that when Tohsaka Tokiomi was killed, Archer would be cut off from the source of his magical energy.

And Archer, who has lost the source of his magical energy, although he can continue to exist for a period of time due to the characteristics of his Class, he does not dare to use EX-rank Noble Phantasms at will; such as the Sword of Rupture, Ea, is not something that can be used lightly.

Otherwise, he will inevitably lose his connection to the World due to the lack of mana supply.

In that case, Shirou could almost be said to have won without a fight.

Retracting his gaze, Shirou looked back at the castle gate.

"The doors were shattered; that is, they were blown open by a very destructive bomb or magecraft."

Shirou pressed his chin to analyze.

"Among the magi who would break through in this way, only Emiya Kiritsugu, who mainly uses firearms and explosives, and Tohsaka Tokiomi, who has the extremely destructive elemental affinity of 'Fire'."

Emiya Kiritsugu ruled it out first, and then the possibility was only Tohsaka Tokiomi left.

"Tohsaka Tokiomi..."

It looks like we're going to face two magi at the same time today.

Although this is the case, Shirou does not have any panic. Now he has Kayneth's Magic Crest and a large number of spells; even if he does not use the power of Unlimited Blade Works, he can face the two magi without falling behind.

Although Emiya Kiritsugu's Origin Bullet is obviously aimed at magi, it is something that he can only do by surprise, so he should not be afraid of knowing the power of the Origin Bullet in advance.

Without further nonsense, Shirou took a step towards the inside of the gate.

At the same time, he raised his right hand.

In the flash of light blue light, a large ceramic bottle appeared in Shirou's hand.

Then, Shirou threw the ceramic bottle to the ground, and the bottle suddenly sank into the ground.

The actual weight of the bottle carried by the weight-shedding spell was close to one hundred and forty kilograms.

"Fervor, mei sanguis. (Boil, my blood)."

As soon as he chanted the spell, the mercury in the bottle spilled out of the mouth stickily, trembling and turning into a sphere.

"Automatoportum defensio (Automated defense), Autonlató por Iunlquaerere (Automated search), Dilectus incursio (Automated attack)."

Shirou whispered, the mercury rustling in response to him, and then floated at Shirou's feet, leading Shirou into the castle gate in a levitating position.
